Census Data

The linked data on this page is drawn from the four profile tables (DP02 to DP05) from the American Community Survey (ACS) and the DP-1 profile table from the decennial census. You can view the original tables from the Census Bureau or modified versions published by the Missouri Census Data Center (MCDC). Each website offers different options for viewing and downloading the data.

The ACS data represents a 5-year estimate generated from a large sample survey that captures many socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the population, while the decennial census is a 100% count of the population and housing stock that captures basic characteristics. The population estimates data (for states and counties) is created by measuring births, deaths, and migration each year.
